s. Senator. The bill was as fol-
lows:
Section AT the general cleo
ton Immediately preceding the
expiration of the term of United
States Senator from this State, the
electors shall, by ballot, express
their preference for some person
for the Office Of United States
Senator, the votes to be canvasseI,
returned and proclaimed in the
same manner that votes for State
officers, returned and proclaimed.
This is the plan adopted in Ne

On Sunday, c. c. Powning, the
Arch Mugwump of Washoe came
up on the afternoon train from his
Riverside heme. When he reached
the depot the platform was not
crowded with any reception com
mittee as the Statesman had ex-
pected, and after peering about for
a brass band shade of disappoint-
ment played over his features and
he gripped his carpet sack viciously
and walked up the street
TIE famous Mugwump wore an
immense plug hat and across his
vest heavy fashy chain was dis
played to great advantage.
As he passed one Of the hotels a
man rushed out and grabbing his
sack, remarked: I'VE give bed rock
rates to Minstrel troupes, come
right in.
Several of the county members
who had never seen PownIng re-
marked that they would take HIM
for loud show agent. When he
reached the hotel he loudly assert
ed that his men had to get in and
rushed out to make Bill Chamber
lain's fight. Some of his friends
said that he missed the morning
train otherwise Bill Stewart
chances would have been consider
ably lessened The missing of the

careful excuse to fall back on in
case of defeat and will be worked

ii belonged to Ex-Governor j
Sterling Morton, who, while acting
as chief executive officer of the
State, issued a proclamation nam
ing a date for its inauguration.
The response to this document was
something wonderful. The people
throughout the entire State Of Ne
bIaska were in accord with Cover
nor Morton, and on the day desig-
mated large numbers of young trees
were set out. The next year Ar
Dor Day was established In Ne
braska by statutory eDactment.and
declared legal holiday.
THE plant included not only
forest trees but orchards, and pre-
miHms are now awarded to those
who, on these occasions, put the
nost young trees into the ground.
Now, look at the result of this fore
thought. There are growing in
Nebraska today 100000 acres of
trees planted by human hands
The work has extended over 800
miles west Of the Missouri river.

young trees in thriviag condition,
all of which have been set out on
Arbor Day. The example of Ne
braSka IN tree planting was prompt
ly followed by Kansas. with excel
lent results. 1t was first observed
in Minnesota IN 1876, and that
State has now over a million and a
half of vigorous young trees to
show. Michigan fell into line in
1881 and Ohio in 1882, since which
time the idea of tree-plantiug has
been adopted in Colorado, Wlscou-

in the enumeration, but if the

Columbia Bank Shaky.

PHILADELPHIA, July 30.-Checks OF the
Columbia bank were thrown out by the
Farmers and Mechanics National bank,
because Of lack Of funds. 1t has been
known for some days that the Columbia
bank was In precarious condition, and
there have been several rumOrs as to its

For some time past the bank has been
doing considerable business for Messrs.
Henry 8. Ives d Co., and recently Its &C.
ceptances for them amounted to as much
as 500, 900 at time. Bank officials re-
fused to state the amount OF Ives busi-
ness with the bank since payment of

that the institution was fully protected.

which the consignees are not able to

know, who lie not an official OF the bank,
said that he supposed Its liabilities
would be from $500, 600 to 100000 and
that persons who had made small de-
posits in the bank would be the chief
sufferers. The trouble was apparently
precipitated by the failure Of Ives and
Co., to honor q draft for 500. 900, drawn
on them by the Columbia bank. The
